Counterargument Paper
This paper assignment expands upon your Week One Assignment and prepares you for the Final Paper. The expansion is to learn to improve one’s argument after
investigating and fairly representing the opposite point of view. The main new tasks are to revise your previous argument created in Week One, to present a
counterargument (an argument for a contrary conclusion), and to develop an objection to your original argument.
Here are the steps to prepare to write the counterargument paper:
Begin reviewing your previous paper paying particular attention to suggestions for improvement made by your instructor.
Revise your argument, improving it as much as possible, accounting for any suggestions and in light of further material you have learned in the course. If your
argument is inductive, make sure that it is strong. If your argument is deductive, make sure that it is valid.
Construct what you take to be the strongest possible argument for a conclusion contrary to the one you argued for in your Week One paper. This is your counterargument.
This should be based on careful thought and appropriate research.
Consider the primary points of disagreement between the point of view of your original argument and that of the counterargument.
Think about what you take to be the strongest objection to your original argument and how you might answer the objection while being fair to both sides. Search in the
Ashford University Library for quality academic sources that support some aspect of your argument or counterargument.
In your paper,
Present a revised argument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line.
Present a counterargument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line.
Provide support for each premise of your counterargument. Clarify the meaning of the premise and supporting evidence for the premise.
Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments, or other ways of
demonstrating the truth of the premise (for more ideas about how to support the truth of premises take a look at the instructor guidance for this week). This section
should include at least one scholarly research source. For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the Ashford Writing Center’s Introductions and Conclusions.
Explain how the conclusion of the counterargument follows from its premises. [One paragraph]
Discuss the primary points of disagreement between sincere and intelligent proponents of both sides. [One to two paragraphs]
For example, you might list any premises or background assumptions on which you think such proponents would disagree and briefly state what you see as the source of
the disagreement, you could give a brief explanation of any reasoning that you think each side would find objectionable, or you could do a combination of these.
Present the best objection to your original argument. Clearly indicate what part of the argument your objection is aimed at, and provide a paragraph of supporting
evidence for the objection. Reference at least one scholarly research source. [One to two paragraphs]
See the “Practicing Effective Criticism” section of Chapter 9 of your primary textbook for more information about how to present an objection.
For further instruction on how to create arguments, see the How to Construct a Valid Main Argument and Tips for Creating an Inductively Strong Argument documents as
well as the video Constructing Valid Arguments.
For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the following Week Three Annotated Example. Let your instructor know if you have questions about how to
complete this paper.

The Marketing Function

Marketing can be viewed as the 4Ps; product, price, promotion, and place. Or it can be viewed as the 4Cs; customer solution, cost to customer, communication, and
convenience. It is often viewed as department but marketing is an important business function. Marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer
needs and their satisfaction. Remember Drucker stated that marketing was the entire company from the customer’s perspective.

Project to Arrange for Conference
Questions:
1. The table for this assignment provides best case, most typical case, and worse case estimates of task duration for each task. Using the PERT Beta distribution
formulas, compute the expected time for achieving each task and its standard deviation.
2. How long will the project take to carry out?
3. What is the standard deviation of the critical path?
4. What is project duration when 1s (standard deviation) is added? 2s? (Note that when dealing with normal distributions, about 68% of observations lie within ±1
s and about 95% of observations lie within ±2s. We do not have a normal distribution in this case. We are working with a PERT Beta distribution that is not fully
symmetric. Still, using an assumption of normality, we can get a very rough sense of the probability that a project will slip its schedule by 1s or 2s.)
5. Identify latest start, earliest start, and float times for each of the tasks in this project.

Expected duration Latest Start Earliest Start Float
ID speaker topics
Contact speakers
Select hotel
Arrange hotel accommodations
Arrange catering
Develop brochure
Print and mail brochure
Develop exhibit material
Develop workbook
Print and bind workbook
Final set-up for conference
6. An opportunity arises to have “Develop workbook” and “Print workbook” carried out earlier, in parallel to the other tasks. “Develop workbook” can begin as soon
as “ID speaker topics” is complete. Reconfigure the PERT/CPM network to reflect this change in work. How much time has been saved on the project?

Social Work Theory and Practice

Social Work Theory and Practice
Social work theory is rooted in education and scholarly research while social work practice is rooted in professional application of social work skills. Both theory
and practice are essential to provide quality and effective social work services. It is important for social workers to use the interrelation of theory and practice
when applying social work interventions, methods, and procedures in crisis and other social work situations.

consider how theory interrelates with practice in social work. You also consider how theory informs your professional work.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write an explanation of how of social work theory affects social work practice. Then, provide one example where a specific practice in social work relates directly to
a social work theory. Finally, explain how social work theory might inform your academic and professional work. Be specific. Must have effective references and no
plagiarism reference all work. should be at least two pages

description of one self-care strategy

Self-Care
With hectic schedules, heavy caseloads, and difficult client problems to resolve, it is understandable for social workers to feel overwhelmed and emotionally drained
by social work. Social workers with burnout and compassion fatigue are less likely to be effective in their role. Therefore, it is important that social workers
develop self-care strategies to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Doing so helps social workers maintain their ability to provide quality services to those who
are in need.

For this assignment, view the media piece and select a self-care strategy the social worker used to address burnout and compassion fatigue.

Give a description of one self-care strategy the social worker in the media piece used to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Then, describe another self-care
strategy you might use to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Finally, explain which self-care strategy might be more effective to address burnout and compassion
fatigue in social workers.
